I just got a copy of the remastered version of the album with the extra tracks.
First of all and probably the most noticable difference I hear is the way the snare drum sounds. The drums sound quite a bit heavier on the regular version, and I had trouble hearing nuances of the bass guitar as well.
The remastered version lacks the tamber of sound that holds the album together so well on the regular version. It is as if they cleaned the sound up, but failed to mix it in such a way as to retain the feel of the album as Ive become used to hearing it. It sounds to me like they took all the raw tracks, cleaned them up, and just slapped them together, instead of taking the time to tweak the way the instruments play off one another.
So what I'm saying is, even though the sound -quality- of the remastered version is better, the original CD is more enjoyable to listen to because of the way it is mixed.
